The express sits on a hill to the NNW of the downtown area of Puerto Varas (which was recently named the best city to live in for all of Chile). The main hotel reportedly burned down and is being rebuilt on the waterfront near the casino. The Colonos Express is old -- our room was small but adequate, perhaps a... more

We just stayed - unexpectedly - in the Express. Apparently, the main hotel (Gran) burned down within the last year. The first we learned about this was when we asked the taxi driver to take us to the Colones del Sur and he brought us to the express. The express has a decent location -- views are good and close... more

I have just arrived from a 3-night stay in Colonos del Sur Express Hotel. I had read the reviews before going to Chile and I was really concerned about the bad comments of previous guests. I tried to change my reservaton, but most hotels were fully booked (because of the winter vacation). However, I must confess that the hotel has... more

Various problems reported to reception but no action taken - see nail sticking out of the (equally cramped)bathroom floor photo; but there was also a light bulb broken and unrepaired after I reported. Reception staff tried very hard to be friendly in the face... more

The staff is rude, and they won't do anything for you. I would stay at another location. The rooms smell, and the beds are... more

My rooms was EXTREMELY tiny--I barely had enough room to move around the 2 very small/short twin beds, and the bathroom was smaller than most standard closets. The water pressure was very irregular, often going from a trickle... more

Just a few mins walk from the centre of Puerto Varas. It's on a small hill, and good views of the Lake and town in a quiet location. The room was a little small for two people, but cosy, and with modern bathroom. Bigger rooms are possible, but mayeb cost more. Free internet access, although just one machine. Good choices... more
